Rapid advancements in the molecular bilogy and genomicsespecially various genome sequencing projects, creatrd a new major area of interest to the biologists, Bioinformatics, where biologymerges with the computer science and information technology. Bioinformatics continue to be the main focus of attraction in the coming years, especially in the livestock production, as it will find more application in diagnostics, vaccine development, veterinary medicine, animal breeding and other disciplines of animal science. Also the advancements in next generation sequencing under different environmental conditions.

This book acquaints the readers with the basic bioinformatic tools which are essential for any molecular biology work like Various databases, Primer designing, Sequence alignment, Submission to Bankit and Molecular Phylogeny analysis. Further the book also introduces and details various advanced topics like Real time PCR, Next Generation Sequencing. Transcriptome Analysis, Genome Annotation, Computational Approach for development of DNA signature and applications of marker based technologies in Animal Breeding. The simp;icity of language and clear illustrations in various bioinformatics softeares will help even a beginner to learn the tools with a clear understandin. The concise and clearly written book will provide invaluable resources for both the beginners and established researchers in various fields of animal sciences; as a well acquaintance with basic and advanced bioinformatic and in-silico tools can be acquired.
